Tengumai’s Origin

Founded in 1823 in late Edo period. The present head is the 8th generation. At that time, the Kura (brewery) was surrounded by dense forest where Tengu (long-nosedgoblin), an imaginary being which had been Japanese tradition with mysterious power seemed to exist. The name “Tengumai” is derived from the meaning that even Tengu would dance after tasting this sake because the sake tastes so good. Since its foundation, the Shata family has been brewing sake in this beautiful pastoral land.
